The Best Way To Beat Laziness: Stop Trying
The truth is that many lazy people are actually perfectionists that overburdened themselves.
They want everything to go right and want to win so badly that they pressure themselves more than anybody else.
It’s these perfectionists that get in their own way more than anybody else because they have a hard time dealing with the failures along the way.
You likely have some of these aspects as well.
It might be because you want everything to go perfect, because you do not want to fail like so often in your past, or because you are tired of waiting for life to turn out your way.
Stop Trying so hard to be perfect!
Things will not always go your way. You do not need to win it all right away. It doesn’t matter whether the streak is perfect or takes many twists and turns.
The only thing that matters is what comes out at the end of the day.
Take New Years Resolutions, as an example; most people that start their resolutions quit in the first two months because they missed a single day.
A busy day, a bad start or even a small sniffle can be enough to get them off track.
